A woman I know sent me a picture of her girlfriend. She wants me to meet her. She said she's so sweet. What really caught my attention was the beer in her hand. The beer is symbolic to me, she might be sweet but she has a fun side and isn't too wholesome.

I am attracted to women who drink alcohol yet I rarely drink myself. I wonder if this attraction has anything to do with the fact that I have an alcoholic mother?

Can't say a word about your mother, but there's nothing wrong with having a little fun. I usually drink 3-4x a week and would have an issue dating someone who didn't drink at all.

What if she had been holding a glass of wine instead? What would that symbolize to you?

You’re reading into it way too much.

Does it really matter? This is what happens to people who live inside their head all the time. Relax and focus on your body, not your thoughts. Spend some time in the gym and build up some testosterone so you can handle the woman situation with your natural instinct instead of your self-obsessed brain.

They'd probably have an issue with dating you too.. so it would be a wash.

Sophistication...maybe being a bit stuck up and pretentious. It would definitely be a turn on.I look at pictures of women on Instagram holding wine glasses. They are mostly European. I like how young women are really into wine there.

We are opposites. I have no interest in the gym, testosterone or my body. I don't have women problems. They mostly like me. If I stopped focusing on what attracts me (and there is a lot more than alcohol) I would be unhappy.
